Subject: The only "omg I gut EXP banned for NO RAISON" thread

I got banned for not being banned during the new ban system that banned a lot of people except me and some others and yet the banning continues and now no ones on MM and so I'm Banned for not being banned.


Spell that without any B's.

If you've been EXP banned, and you believe yourself to be innocent, post here. But first, let's get some nonsense out of the way:

- If you're cheating to get Achievements, you're still cheating. The banhammer is aimed at the behavior, not the intent. "I was just trying to get Yorick" won't get you out of the EXP ban.
- No, people aren't getting banned just because they play a lot with their friends. There's a difference between boosting and actually playing with friends, and we can tell the difference.
- If you haven't been banned, you won't see a message that says you have. Be careful that you did not confuse what we call the "nag message" that we introduced after TU2 with a ban message. Don't try to stir people up by claiming to be unjustly banned when you are not.
- All EXP bans given out so far are considered "first offense" bans. Two weeks is the duration for a first offense. The degree and duration of ban increases if you're caught cheating again.
- As is said on http://www.bungie.net/ban, it is not our problem if it is your brother, cousin, best friend, mom, dad, girlfriend, boyfriend, or kitten that got your console banned. If it turns out that your gamertag is suffering from their wrongdoing, that is an issue you'll have to take up with them.
- If you are "not sure" if you've been banned, then you haven't been. People who get banned are notified very clearly.

That should cover it. Post away! Keep it civil. People who get belligerent about their ban, especially when it's justified, are just going to get themselves in more trouble.

[Edit] One other thing: This is now the ONLY thread for discussion on EXP bans. Any new threads created to argue a ban will get locked.

Shishka,
I don't think this an EXP ban case, but my cousin got this message while in the custom game lobby.

"Unable to start because a player in your party is restricted from playing user-created content."

What we are trying to figure out is what did he do to recieve this strange message. His gamertag is DannyTOKYO. Thanks for your time Shishka.



In this case, it doesn't appear to be from Bungie. You might advise your friend to check their console settings. It sounds like there are some rating restrictions set in the 'Family Settings' section of the dashboard.

I got banned from getting EXP because I got alittle mislead I thought that you got banned from getting EXP by doing the language glitch thing you know for team slayer so that you got free acheivments while getting free EXP.I also used my 2 gueasts in rumble pit because of me thinking that you only got banned by doing the language glitch and to be nice and help my friends also my guests wernt doing anything.I know dont tell me that I didnt read the banhammer thing because I did but I read it when I just woke up in the morning.And sorry if my post is breaking any rules im not trying to =*(

Now, i just got banned for 3 months, i didn't know "fkn" was not allowed... it didn't say it wasn't... why are you banning me for something that should have been corrected on your end?

First offense exp bans last 2 weeks right?
Well I got banned more than 2 months ago so i quit playing and I got on today and im still banned.
And i was wondering why i have a console ban or if that was part of the exp boosting?
Any insight would be nice.

Ok I know it is not anyone's fault but my own for letting my frfiend play on my console but he stayed up all night last week playing and now I have a XP ban. How long is it going to last? I have never had on w before so I am thinking 2 weeks? How can I check? And my humble apologies for not monitoring what was going on. He now has a ban from my house.

I personally think that the new system is a good one, and that the people who are cheating are getting caught. I have heard lot's of people whining because of an experience ban, some of whom are friends that i have played with online. I have told them that I think Bungie is just letting them know that they messed up, and that they should quit trying to boost their achievements or experience. Yet for as many people that get caught, I feel that they still have a long way to go to totally stop the cheating. I sincerely hope that the new system continues to work at making a more reliable and fair gaming experience.

1st- Why would your friend waste hours of his time boosting *your* account instead of actually playing the game? What does he have to gain from it?

2nd- If what you said was true, that seems a little harsh to "ban" him from your house. Remember, being EXP suspended doesn't exempt you from playing games.

Yes, it's a 2 week ban; you can't check.

Any by helping them getting achievements you were standing still, not attempting to kill them in anyway and allow them to collect kills on you. Which is boosting.
